Welcome to the IPRTA Forum website

The IPRTA Forum brings together key actors to share knowledge and develop consensus around an action-oriented strategy for evolving and mainstreaming IPR technical assistance and capacity building within development cooperation over the medium term.

 

Here you can find information about the IPRTA Forum as well as other resources and links on IPR technical assistance and capacity building. On this site, you can also find the full set of documents and resources for all IPRTA Forum meetings and conferences .

 

The IPTRA Forum was established with funding by the UK Department For International Development, but other sponsors now include the European Patent Office, Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, the Organization of American States and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property. Many other IPRTA Forum members also support our work through generous in-kind contributions.

 

We will be updating the website regularly with new content and information as the IPRTA Forum moves forward. Please enjoy the site and check back regularly.
